C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Weight gain will remain at about 5 pounds (2.2 kilograms) per year between ages 2 to 5. Between ages 2 to 10 years, a child will grow at a steady pace. A final growth spurt begins at the start of puberty, sometime between ages 9 to 15. The child’s nutrient needs correspond with these changes in growth rates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weight: average gain of about 4 to 6 pounds per year. Height: average growth of about 2 to 3 inches per year. After age 2, children of the same age can noticeably vary in height and weight. As long as the child is maintaining his or her own rate of growth, there should be no reason to worry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Normal height growth rates vary according to age. Children during the first year of life should grow 7-10 inches. During the second year growth slows to an average of 5 inches /year. During the third year growth averages 3 inches/year.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kids tend to get taller at a pretty steady pace, growing about 2.5 inches (6 to 7 centimeters) each year.
